Hilariously enough, even Exxon Mobil has stopped funding this bunch of clowns.

Well, this is a pretty good model for an interview with a climate skeptic. Instead of letting them have the last “balancing” word, let them speak, then get real scientists to dissect each of their pronouncements.

F-him and the horse he rode in on thank you very much. I am AMAZINGLY tired of having the same BS half-truths waved about as if they were revelations from the almighty and reasons why business must go on as usual. The same crap about the poor not being helped because money to help them will be diverted to the work we do to prevent or adapt to the climate troubles that ARE coming.

Since we have helped the poor so poorly in the past, what makes anyone think that any aid they aren’t going to get anyway is to be the source of the $$$ that we spend on improving our energy technologies?

Sorry, I am having a “Bill-the-Cat” moment…

“For us non-dittoheads (that is, the unconverted), a more fitting memorial to Mount Rushbo might be a diorama of the environmental destruction that he did so much to enable in his multi-decade reign of denigration. Global warming’s most popular denialist, talk radio’s most imitated showman, conservatism’s minister of disinformation, he has injected millions of semi-vacant American skulls with a cream filling of complacency that has helped thrust this country into the forefront of backward leadership. He has given Republican lawmakers the rhetorical cover fire to do nothing but snicker as the crisis emerged and impressed itself on the rest of the world. He conscripted concern for nature as just another weapon in the Culture Wars. May the grasses of his favorite golf courses go forever yellow and dust storms whip from the sand traps.”

the fact that they’re covering the issues (if not with depth, then at least in breadth) is a good thing. it sure beats features on manhatten apartment living or boob jobs, or whatever else it is they usually cover.

if we’re talking about the impact of major print media then look no further than the recent green issue of fortune mag. it includes a piece on yvon chouinard - the original green biz guru (he’s the perfect real world role model in my mind).
